I don't think uber/lyft drivers will be the culprit here. Generally, it's a pretty lousy job these days. There's also other options like survey or click work which pays more or less about the same net income.
If I were to place my bets on the biggest risk it'll be YouTubers finding out how to fuck around with the cars in unexpected ways and potentially tricking them.
Here's a dumb example. If you use one of those phone apps that flashes your screen like a police siren, could you trick the car to pull over? Would it unlock the doors and allow you to just hop in? What if you put a dog shaped balloon in the road on front of it? Could you set up some confusing cones and get it to drive into a wall? Could you confuse it at a stoplight with a green flashlight and have it start driving?
